Mini stem cell transplants

A mini stem cell transplant is a reduced-intensity conditioning that involves a less intense conditioning option by involving lower doses of chemotherapy and radiation for killing some cancer cells and somewhat suppressing the immune system. Later, the donor's cells are infused into the body. The donor cells replace the cells in bone marrow of the body and fights with the cancerous cells in the bodyThis type of conditioning is preferable over the conditioning process as it has fewer side effects as compared to the normal conditioning process. However, it is not appropriate for all situations.
